April 1, 2020

Joe Wicks has revealed that his online PE classes have raised an incredible $100,000 (£80,888) for the NHSstaff on the frontline of the coronavirus pandemic.

Last week, the popular fitness instructor’s YouTube series peaked with nearly 1million people tuning in live to workout together around the world – and it looks like the initiative is not just having positives on our health and wellbeing.

Joining Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid live on Good Morning Britain from his home in Richmond, where he is self-isolating, Joe said: ‘In the past week alone on the past seven videos, the AdSense is at $100,000.

‘Every penny from the workout that we do from this school stuff for now until forever… all of that money is going to the NHS. We are raising money through these workouts.’

He added: ‘The more we do it the more we raise. It’s amazing, I’m so proud of that.’

Joe has been sharing daily exercise videos despite fracturing his hand after falling off his bike.

The fitness expert opened up about his injury during an appearance on the Andrew Marr show last week, explaining that it hasn’t slowed him down.
